Thanks so much everyone. Guess you hit the nail on the head. I posted this on July 5th. Today is the 12th and TOM is here. I'm feeling more fatigued then ever. I slept about 8hours, then a few hours later I fell asleep for another 5 hours. I can't go on like this every month!!!! I don't know what to do. It's depressing me. It's like I'm destined to be fat. I work so hard at everything, and then once week, every single month it's going to screw me royally.

It screwed my exercising. I was doing soooo good for a while, now I have to start all over. Just great. If I can even bring myself to start over again. Why bother? I'm going to get my period next month too! Maybe I should go have a hystectomy(sp) and then try low carb!

I hardly ate any real food last week. I ate junk like cookies and cereal. Regret it? No, because it gave me my energy back which I need.

I take a Potassium/Calcium/Mag combined supplement that I get from GNC, along with a multi vitamian daily. That doesn't seem to matter.

Meg, what have you been doing to try and get rid of the symptoms?

I haven't really been trying anything - just trying not to go crazy with food and carbs... trying not to kill everyone in my life with my mood swings during pms! I just try to keep up what I normally do - lots of water (gallon+), maintain exercise, vitamins and supps... I do eat more food - allow more treats, for example low carb cocoa, etc. I've been looking into herbal remedies for pms but haven't bought anything yet... I'll talk to more women first and get some ideas/experiences. I get it really bad so it's definitely something I'm not going to give up looking into. I'll let you know if I come up with anything good.

take care!
Meg
